[REQ] SMS sending confirmation ??? - HD2 General

i searched the forum and the manual already. i didn't find a piece.
is there a way to set up a sms-sending-confirmation? i accidentally hit the "send" button while typing and the sms is gone directly ... awful and annoying.
i got no clue. dont know where to look inside the registry to find any entry.
any help? app? setting?

Do you mean delivery reports?
If so go to Messages, Select All Messages, then from the screen select Menu > Settings > Options.
Then on this screen tick "Request delivery report".
Will tell you if the message got there depending on your network supporting it, works very well. I use it cause of the HD2 SMS not sending issue, this way I know its gone.

I think he means a confirmation, for when you press Send. That a popup comes up like "Do you really want to send this text message?"
I don't think this option exist tho. Atleast not in standard.

Yes I presumed it was something similar to that. I dont think its that much of an issue though as the Send Button is quite far out of the way on the screen so I cant see how you can accidentily send them. Also I dont know of any phones that have thid confirmation? the iPhone would have been more of a contender for that considering its send button is near the top right meaning much higher likelihood of hitting it (although that never happened to me).

what i'd like is some form of notification that a message has actually sent, rather than just having to presume that it has

He just wrote it there, read!

No a delivery report only confirms that the person has received the text, not that my device has sent it. i can't use delivery reports anyway as I'm on o2 and they don't support it i'd just like some form of notification that it was sending e.g. on my previous nokia Series 60 a little tray with an arrow pointing out of it would be displayed in the top notification area until the message had sent.

Well, this might just be me but.
If you get a delivery report, it means the other person received your text message!
So how would it be possible then, that your text message isn't send? If you get what I'm saying.
This might just work for you?
52. Enable SMS Delivery Reports on O2 Network
O2 sadly do not support sms delivery reports no matter even if you enable them in sms settings or the registry. An alternative way is to add *0# in the body of the message followed by a space and then begin your message. The recipient does not see the code but you will get a message back saying when it has been delivered.

i could do that, but i'd rather not have to type it in at the beginning of each message. network or signal issues could delay/stop a message sending i just like confirmation that my device has done its part and the message is on its way, regardless of if the destination phone is turned on or not.

once you hit send, if your message briefly flashes then it has been sent. if it has not been sent you will get a warning icon which is an ! in a triangle.

are your serious?
if i write a textmessage / sms in landscape-mode, the send-button is in the bottom-left corner (just below the space-bar and the comma - german layout). i got the original keyboard, so the sensitivity is extremely high, you just have to accidentally touch it a little and the sms is gone...
maybe it just needs some time to get rid of that, same as you need time, to get familiar with the typing, but my google-search showed me that im not the only one with that "problem".
it only asks for confirmation if u try to send an empty message.

Different Notifications for txt delivery confirmation

Is there any add on for the Exec that will allow me to have a different notification sound for a Delivery Confirmation text (marked as from System Administrator on Vodafone).
I like to get a confirmation back but I only want a very short sound for it, not the normal notify sound I get with a normal text message!
Any ideas?

Don't know if this will work - but I noticed the other day that you can assign ringtones to specific contacts (I think) - maybe you could set up the SysAdmin as a contact with a short ringtone - I don't know if that would work for texts. (I've not tried it at all).
No, this only works for Ringtones, not Notifications from text messages.
where are all the default sounds for text notifications kept?
Mortring does the job. Search in the google for it. I'm using and an can assigne diferent rings for instance for notifications.

Ive heard of Mortring, but can you tell me if it will allow a ringtone based not on a number but on a named string, as the test I get back for delivery confirmation doesnt have a number associated with it, it has the words "System Administrator" on it, no number at all.
Well i think not, because the one thing the app can do is to apply a ringtone to an unidentified contact, contact with no categories defined, by categories. The same for text messages.
So basically it functions using the number and the string used by the appz is the number.
Here is the topic made by the author of the program and you can ask him.

Greetings,
Aprt
Thank you for that, im greatful
Thought I'd tag on this thread.
I have just got two phones, on each for me and the good lady. She wants to know if there is a way of it reminding her that she has a text - currently the phone makes a noise once and then unless you open it up to check, you have no idea if you have a text.
Her old phone used to make a tone every few minutes if she had a text.
I can't see any settings in the phone to do this. Are there any apps out there that would fit the bill ?
Any advice greatfully received.

I don't know any apps, but you can go to Start>Settings>Personal> Sound and Notifications>Notifications>New Text Messages and check the "Flash light for NO LIMIT". This will ensure if you receive any text msgs that the indicator light will flash orange if you have any text message and it will only disappear after you dismiss or read it.

SMS Delivery Notification

Ok, maybe this aint completely a pure Xperia Issue, more a WM6.1 Issue. But maybe the solution might be? .. if there is any
I'm a guy that like to get Delivery Notification on my text messages,
not to be confused with Sent noticed, which I find kinda useless, you receive a error msg if the SMS isnt sent anyhow.
But back to the Issue, SMS Delivery Notification.
As it is, you send your SMS and then get a NEW SMS telling you that your SMS was delivered.
(And it dont even bother matching the number to your addressbook, wtf?)
How I want it to work, and had several cellphones that did, is to just flag your sent SMS as delivered.
Does someone share my frustration? or am I just a whining sob?
And does anyone have a solution to this highly annoying(according to me) problem?
Some kinda SMS client for Windows Mobile, or for the Xperia?
The Sent Notification isn't an issue
I don't like it, but I know how to turn it off.
--------
What I would like... is to have the Delivery Notification /Report,
not as a separate "sms" that dont match against your address book.
But as a "green flag" or something that indicate that your SMS has been delieverd.
Had this feature on my earlier devices, then the SMS-icon was a envelope(as it is now)
and to see that it was sent you saw a "stamp-icon" and when it was delivered it was a
green check flag i the corner of the envelope. Hope you understand me now
I feel your pain.... then I installed advance config and disable the delivery notification... since then, that I am a happy man
i saw this:

I have looked at this prog too, not used it thou ... It might be a good idea, but still dont understand why they didnt just flag you excisting SMS instead of creating a separate "reporting SMS", especially useless when it dont match the number with you addressbook, or it just me that have stopped memorize ppl:s numbers?

Okey I don't know if this is your answer but I've got a swe xperia as well.
I can write my way in swe and translate to eng but
in messages view, press meny -- verktyg -- alternativ -- SMS/MMS (i listan) -- Begär leveransmeddelanden
(menu -- tools -- alternatives -- SMS/MMS (from the list) -- Demand report on delivery)
This is deliveryreport and it works for me...
I shut off "Message Sent" xith Xperia Tweak from cliffords.

What network are you on? I know some carriers don't support the delivery notification feature, but on O2 in the UK if you add *0# to the beginning of your message it will send you an SMS back when it's been delivered.. works for me (and *0# are all conveniently placed next to each other on the X1 keyboard, how nice!)
Hehe... I use TELE2 ... and I DO get a Delivery notification /report.
I just dont want it as a separate SMS! or as it say a msg from "System Administator" telling me my SMS has been delivered.
if you read the post I have posted above, I try to explain this a few times.
I do appreciate all you guys trying to help thou!
Cheers!
Same here - Again, the problem is NOT that the delivery notification itself annoys us, we know how to turn it off or on. The annoying part is just the way of presenting the notification. All other phones I had so far (as a matter of fact only Nokias) had a special way of treating the incoming delivery notification, they did not display the notification like a normal text message, but rather marked the corresponding sent text message as "delivered". If I turn on the delivery reports on the X1, I get a new text message for every one I sent. That is stupid
What we are looking for is a way of making Windows Mobile 6.1 read the incoming delivery reports and mark the corresponding sent text messages. Or at least they should not cause the X1 to notify us as the same way a normal text message does (i.e. same sound, same message dialog, etc...). I want to know that a message has been delivered without first having to believe "I got a text message" and then seeing that it's only a delivery report...
Yep, I'm looking for a solution to this issue too. Having recently bought an HTC Touch HD, this is one thing that I think my old Sony Ericsson K610i handled much better.
Would be great to find some tweak that makes the phone treat delivery reports as a status change of the sent text message (sms), rather than as a separate message altogether.
So what you're trying to say is:
Now: - You get a seperate sms saying the message has been delivered.
What you want: - The message in the "sent" folder changes icon when delivered.
Is there a solution for this that anyone knows of?
Thanks,

Another thing with the delivery report. I once got one when my ringtones were turned off, but the sound came anyway. So my theory is that its recognized as a system message, not a SMS. System voulme was still activated. Anyone noticed that too?

Nope, sorry, I'm not much of a win-mobile-developer... However, I did find a small app that actually fulfills my wishes somewhat. It's not perfect, but it's better than the default delivery reports...
Have a look at this site and have a go at SMS Delivery Recipt Fix. The author is active here on the forum, so you can find lots of info on this app in several threads (after all, that's how I found it). I just tried it on my phone (HTC Touch HD running Win Mobile 6.1) and it works brilliantly. The status message is still delivered as a separate sms, but now it pops up in a bubble, and the option to delete it is right there with it. In my opinion, that's a lot better than having to go into the inbox, find the report, and delete it from there. I think I'll stick with this solution.
That bubble with the "delete" option is how it works for me..but this just came with win 6.1, nothing special installed for that feature. Still it would be good to see wich contact is reported about.
But as i read that "fix" is meant to also show the contacts name, i will try that.

Yes, I do feel a bit stupid here, but I realised later that the bubble popup notification is a built-in function of WinMo 6.1... I just hadn't properly understood how to enable it, that only became clear to me once I had installed the sms fix. But, the fix still does a nice thing, i.e. link the displayed number to a name, which looks a lot better.
Yes but from the screenshot is moves the delete link from onscreen to menu / delete..that would be annoying again. Is that right?

Not at all. Look at the screenshots again. The one with a menu is the "new message" notification... There you have more options like "call sender", "delete message", and so on. The first screenshot shows how the delivery report is displayed, and this comes with two on-screen options: dismiss and delete. No menus to navigate here.

Delivery Reports.....

Is there any way to have them not come through as a new message that needs opening to clear the notifcation and then stays in your inbox?
Can we not have it just pop up on the screen for a few seconds and then dissapear to their own folders like on a Nokia for example?
Really annoying having every other message in my inbox a delivery report!!
Cheers!
I'm with you on that. Really anoying.
Yeah, I always like to have DR on but i've turned them off right now until/if I can find a solution!!
Same here, my old P1i treated the delivery reports as some kind of push message, I had to read them, but after that they were nowhere to be found but as an addition to to sms itself in the "sent" folder saying something like "successfully delivered at ..." when you looked at the details of the sms.
really really annoying that the reports stay in the inbox and mess up the whole conversation. we really need a fix here.
You guys are lucky. I can't even get delivery reports on my phone. I wonder if it is to do with the network not allowing them? I am on O2 in UK.

availability of deliveery reports depend on your network. As far as i know, O2 dont have delivery reports.
so.. after half a year, are there any updates on it?
I don't use delivery reports due to this issue.
Therefore, I use "Message Sent" notifications. I'll provide the reg-tweak to enable this feature. Depending on your ROM, you might have one of these or both of these:
Code:
[COLOR=black]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\NoSntMsg = 0 (default is 1)[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\NoSntMsg = 0 (default is 1)[/COLOR]
These are just pop-up notifications, and they don't save at all. But at least one knows the message was sent.

HTC People BUG

HTC People bug:
- When editing an existing contact, I am unable to open the pop-up menu on the phone numbers (actually, I am able to open the pop-up menu on the Mobile phone, but not on the Work or Home phone - didn't try the rest of them).
Do you have this as well?
did anyone else find this error?
sorry, don't understand the problem.care to elaborate on what you expect it to do and ill see if I can recreate it?

Right.
Go to any contact, and then click edit contact (using HTC People).
Tap and hold the mobile number text box. A context menu will pop-up, showsing options the following options: Undo, Cut, Copy, Past, Clear and Select All.
This sort of things, is normal to happen.
Now try doing the same for the last name text box. And for the e-mail text box.
It wil work as supposed to.
Now do it for the Work number, Home number or other text box numbers.
duplicate deleted
ahhh I see it.the menu only comes up for the first entry in the email and telephone numbers sections.the screen flickers as though it knows it should be doing something, but the menu doesn't come up.
Definite bug, well spotted.

I've informed the customer support at HTC about this, but after a series of e-mails, I am affraid they won't announce anybody at the dev. dept. in Taiwan or whatever.
So, in case you get this too, what about posting the error (bug) to the Customer support as well? Maybe they'll put this little buggy where it belongs!
yea illpost a bug report when I get home.I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix tho....hehe

SMS Delivery Report

Hello!
Do you know of any software for our HD2, that will change the behavior of receiving sms delivery reports?
My Blackberry has an icon, that just changes, if a message has been delivered successfully. Even after 6 month i can see, if a message has been delivered.
I don't like the windows mobile default behavior of creating a "system message" that needs to be marked as unread ans so on.
Who can help me?
Sebastian
SMS delivery reports are a network thing. Call your operator and ask about them being turned off.

This is not exactly what he means.
He means that once the option is enabled, he wants the software to have some sort of icon that will be put next to the message that has been sent once a delivery report comes in. The current situation, however, is that the delivery report will be put into the conversation as a 'new sms' and therefore is less practical.
I am also curious about this, however I don't think this is actually something a program can change for you, as it'd require HTC messaging client modifications. It's just the way Windows Mobile 6.x handles these reports.
Ahhhh I see. I wasn't aware of the icon thingy in the RIM OS (or whatever bberrys run on...)
I was mainly pointing out that windows mobile does not create a system message
"I don't like the windows mobile default behavior of creating a "system message"
and that it is in fact the carrier that generates the message.
Yet another tid bit to add to the hoarde of useless information clogging my brain.

I have also been searching a long time for the same feature as most of the others here.
In my opinion it worked actually much better in WM6 where it just popped up a system message that the SMS had been delivered.
I will be keeping an eye on this thread hoping someone has a good idéa.

You just can turn off sms delivery report without hesitating. If the sms can't be delivered you'll get notification. If there's a silence than it's been delivered. Something like this...

not as simple as that, , , say i send you a txt, and your phone is turned off, , i wont get a failure, because it HAS been delivered to your service center, but you haven't yet received it, , , so relying on NOT getting a failure to tell you its been delivered is useless.
To answer original old question a perfect & very configurable software exists for WM & is called SMS reports eraser.
automatically moves reports so you just get the notification icon & sound if wanted, pretty much blackberry style.
Works perfect & you still have reports for future reference ...
